Google's June 2025 core update ended on Thursday after running for 16 days. This has been a volatile Google update with some recovery for a while. Google AI mode gets Gemini 2.5 Pro and deep search, but you have to pay. Google AI mode, which only has link cards, may be a bug. Google AI overview now shows many videos. Google Discover gets a formally generated summary of AI. Google Search Console has added a 24-hour comparison view. Google said sites that are barely indexed by Google could mean that Google is generally unconvinced with the site. Google Core Web Vitals has been updated with Search Console, but something seems to be missing. The Google Search Analytics API now displays metadata for incomplete data points. Google has updated its Merchant Return Policy and Loyalty Program. Google Local Ranking Document has been updated. Google Local Services Ads reviews are managed in Google Business Profile. Google AI local call functionality has been tested. This is like an Ask Me Feature. The Google Business Profiles appeal tool can show you the reason for rejection. Google also has a new way to show the status of the requested business profile edits. Google Business Profiles requests WhatsApp and text numbers. Google Ads has this application direction in preview for Gmail Mail. Extensible summary rows for Google Ads Feed vs Asset Metrics. Google Ads Smart Bidding Exploration is deployed for some advertisers. Google Ads Change History Reports can display ghost users, but I don't know why. That was the search news this week in the search engine roundtable.
